The Democrats' great hypocrisy

Partisan Democratic enablers in the media — such as the Tribune's Eric Zorn — would do well to check out some of the past statements by some of the Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats, whom they hold in such high regard.

I'm referencing Zorn's quoting of Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who noted, "false in one thing, false in everything," purportedly because Judge Brett Kavanaugh lied in his insistence that the high school yearbook passages were innocent and not sexual references in nature. Zorn contends he might therefore be lying about his purported sexual assault on Christine Blasey Ford.

Members of the media would do well to give some thought before referencing liars like Blumenthal. During his 2010 Senate campaign, Bill Clinton pal Blumenthal said he was a Vietnam combat veteran. Blumenthal never served in Vietnam, let alone in combat. As a non-combat Vietnam veteran, I am personally offended that such a person with such disrespect for the truth can be elected to the United States Senate. This is a guy who challenges anyone’s integrity or credibility?

Truth be told, Zorn, Blumenthal and other Democratic judiciary committee members like Cory Booker and Dianne Feinstein made up their minds weeks ago: Judge Kavanaugh is a predator whose confirmation must be prevented at any cost. The same people who no doubt disbelieved sexual assault allegations directed at Bill Clinton and forgave Ted Kennedy for Chappaquiddick insist they have ample evidence to deny Kavanaugh the nomination — despite the fact that the people Dr. Ford said witnessed the long-ago attack at the very least cannot recall the incident — or flatly deny it ever happened!
